Interface for Smarter Healthcare Systems
Cognos Environment
After experimenting with visualization using
IBM Many Eyes Tool,
the next level of sophistication involves setting up a Cognos
Environment. These of course would involve setting up all the
required software and then configuring the Cognos Server to allow for
users to create visualization widgets.
The following PDF contains four references where the IBM Cognos product was
used to help Healthcare customers.

This link does a lengthy description of why one should use Dashboards
to display healthcare data. The PDF is mostly text but it has some
small screen shots on page 9:
